My wrists are a smidge over 5". I wear a Fitbit Charge 2 and don't find it to be clunky or uncomfortable. I wear my Polar HRM or Garmin Vivoactive (both with chest straps) for workouts, depending on whether I'm indoors or out. For a while I recorded stats from everything and most of the time the Fitbit was pretty close on heart rate when compared to the other two. Those were all manually recorded (start button pushed like typical HRM). The Fitbit autorecords my dog walks and sometimes those HR readings can be wildly off (it recently showed my max HR at 153 but I'm lucky if I ever hit 130 on dog walks). I still wear a high-quality old school pedometer as well and while there are days the Fitbit is really close or sometimes higher than the pedometer, it's pretty typical that it's around 1000 steps lower. The Charge 2 also records your sleep and shows the time in each sleep stage and now also gives a sleep quality score. I don't know if they still make the Charge 2, but I've had mine for almost 2 years and for a wrist tracker have been pretty much happy with it. HTH!
